Junior and Ladies Champion Nicola Ramdyhan and teammate Aretta Dey capitalized on a golden opportunity to defeat Shelly Daly and Fiona Bushell to claim the Ladies Doubles Championship in two sets 6-4, 6-4 in
the Trophy Stall sponsored Doubles Tennis tournament.
In the first set, Daly’s signature service game was broken twice but there was sterling performance from her partner Bushell that kept the pair breaking back to stay alive in the set. Bushell who just recently elevated from the Novice category was able to maintain reasonably consistent volleys and keep up the momentum with Daly as they defended their side of the court and capitalized on opportunities to make winners at the net.
But it was the young Ramdyhan who frequently attacked her mother at the net to eventually earn a 6-4 win in the first set. In the second set, Daly and Bushell were once again maintaining a high level of net play. They raced to a 3-0, 40-15 lead before the young pair turned up the heat with heavy ground strokes directed at Bushell and won 5 games straight to take the score to 5-3. Daly/Bushell then held serve to stay alive at 4-5. Ramdyhan then spared no moment in closing out the set as she held serve at 6-4.
As the tournament winds down in its third weekend, Harry Panday offered the use of his tennis club to the GTA for the remaining matches to be played during the evenings.
Last evening Men’s Doubles Semifinal was to feature Nicholas Fenty/Leyland Leacock vs Jason Andrews/Daniel Lopez.
Today from 5:30pm: Mixed Doubles Finals, winner of the Aretta Dey/Daniel Lopes vs Keenan Persaud/Sarah Klautky match will play Nichola Ramdyhan/Nicholas Glasgow, afterwards the Men’s Doubles finals will see the winner of the Nicholas Fenty/Leyland Leacock vs Jason Andrews/Daniel Lopes match facing Anthony Downes/Harry Panday.
